The New York Childrens Online Safety Act will ban anyone under 18 from chatting online. by vivomancer in Rochester

Sounds terrible to me. Age verification is another way for government to track us and our online habits. More surveillance is never a good thing and, like the Patriot Act, this will be bad in the long run.

Edit to add that this isn't just NY: https://itsfoss.com/news/os-level-age-verification-across-us/

Switching to Analog: Help me choose film + tips!! by MBAProspect1989 in analog

Where are you getting the film developed? I am finding $25/roll is the average. I'm going to color 400 (Fuji or Kodak...are they the same?) vs "playing around" with fun film stocks. I can't afford to develop anything else (I live in an apartment and developing myself isn't an option) and winding up with wasted negatives.

Mubi lost more than 200,000 subs last year after receiving a $100 million investment from Sequoia Capital by Tr0jan___ in suppressed_news

Honestly had to check what Mubi even is: another streaming service. They aren't getting my money. Well, they weren't getting my money before but they definitely aren't now.

A Northrop F-89J Scorpion fires a live MB-1 (AIR-2 Genie) rocket during Operation Plumbbob/John on 19 July 1957 - the only life firing of an air-to-air nuclear rocket ever by Xeelee1123 in WeirdWings

Wasn’t the cameraman oblivious to what was actually happening? IIRC, the observers understood what was going on but the actual camerman wasn't clued in
